Has anyone ever bought books from Alibris?

[Cobalt Violet]

6. That's what this book is. 1946.

3. Oh, only about a million or so.

Alibris is the best!

They show you all available copies of the book you're looking for, the price, the condition, and the store from which it is available; plus the general reliability of the vendor. I almost always my books from small Mom-and-Pop bookstores around the country. Alibris helps support small businesses that way.

7. The seller is rated as excellent.

It is quite a bit lower in price than the few other places that came up on my froogle search.

I am buy this book to read. I don't really need a collector quaility copy. But this copy is rated

very good and has no DJ. Fine with me.
